THE ISTEA MODEL OF REGION BUILDING

Bruce D. McDowell

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

One of the most effective federal initiatives supporting regional organizations in recent years has come from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). ISTEA's innovations have been continued with only modest refinements for another six years through the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The purpose of this paper is to: review federal roles in supporting regional organizations; describe how ISTEA has refined the federal government's role in region building; draw some key principles from the ISTEA experience that might be applied to other federal aid programs; and, suggest six other federal program areas in which the ISTEA model of regional problem solving could be applied beneficially.
